TTSSFU

Tasmin Stephens is TTSSFU. Pronounced phonetically, TTSSFU takes the vague template of a fuzzed-up dream-pop sound. It’s a dark and unsettling veil of pent-up anxiety spilt over oscillating beats, heavy guitars, and to somewhere approaching a fever-dream. And whilst TTSSFU’s music harnesses all those words that typically describe shoegaze; ethereal, atmospheric, layered, and immersive instrumentation soaked in reverb, Tasmin comes at it all with a scythe. As TTSSFU, Tasmin Stephens isn’t content to simply exist in a vague pool of dream-pop inspired newcomers, nor happy to operate quietly in the shadows. Tasmin demands attention, and will be quick to receive it. Her aesthetic, hyper-specific and often unsettling, is imbued with an innate love of analogue horror and the intoxicating glitch and noise of early internet yore. A whirlpool of chaotic energy.
